Death toll of Iran protests mounts as families learn of loved ones killed by regime forces The last time Ottawa resident Mahnoosh Naseri spoke to her father, he had decided to take to the streets of Tehran to protest the Iranian regime.

Two days later, her father left his apartment to join the demonstrators and never came home. It took his family four days to find him. He had been shot dead. “He didn’t care anymore about his safety.

Opinion: Restrained protesting — difficult, but necessary There is something truly remarkable happening on the streets of Minneapolis, as protesters continue to frustrate the extrajudicial arrests, detainments and fatal shootings orchestrated by U.S. President Donald Trump’s fearsome ICE army.

More importantly, the ICE army is Trump’s preferred tool of provocation… Apparaît sur: winnipegfreepress.com, winnipegfreepress.com, Mots-clés: [‘activism’, ‘protesters’] Recensé le 2 février |
